That was so epic! Finally something to wipe BW out of our memories.

Looks like it's based in France too which is pretty cool.

Awesome starters, although Gen V's are better for the most part. Fire > Grass >> Water

Is it possible these games have customisable characters? The way he's stood in front of that mirror in the beginning and his generic clothing and accessories (kinda looks too much like the BW protagonists) makes me think you can change the way he looks.

Water starter sure looks ugly, although I said that about Oshawott so we'll see. I like the grass one, but this will probably be another gen where I skip the starters.

Whelp, looks like I am going to have to get a 3DS eventually now.\

Also looks like for once the grass starter isn't a reptile and the fire type doesn't look like it will become fire/fighting!

So Fennekin continues to follow tradition of having the fire starter fall under the 'Dog' category. Neat.

Maybe I've missed your sarcasm but of a dragon, mouse, chicken, monkey and pig none of them are canine based and only two are quadrupeds.

It's actually kind of funny that there's a frog starter in a french region. Let's hope it looks nothing like Seismatoad.

Interesting too note that right at the beginning of the video, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt from the top of the Eiffel Tower as it zooms out of France and shows the world.

Paris confirmed.

On the plus side, the chances of it being fire-fighting are pretty remote.

I share Kairne's ranking towards the starters, Fire was clearly the best (and cutest) starter (just don't ruin it with the fighting type... Psychic would be nice), followed by the Grass type, which was a little daft but reasonable. Then, waaaay out there is the Water type... Don't we have enough frogs already and why does he/she need cotton wool on it's back.
As for the legendary Pokemon we saw, I'm sold on the Dark dragon-like thing of Pokemon Y, but not the almost-like-Virizion Deer one.
World looked pretty damn cool though, graphics were nice and the camera was placed in a position that would make good use of the 3D options. But I'm not sold on the battles though, I was hoping for a new generation to add something new and dynamic to the battles not a sit there and take the hits type thing which every game has had from the beginning. This wasn't shown and although the battles did look really good, this is the one stumbling point for me which will leave me waiting a good while before I decide if I'll get Y version or not.

Also, it's definitely not a dog anyways. It's obviously based on a Fennec Fox.

Interesting to note is that Fennekin uses some sort of Psychic-looking ability in the action shots, and Chespin uses something that looks like a dark-type move. We still don't know whether they're pure-type or not, do we?

Granted Fennekin could end up being like Vulpix in that it just has a fair amount of psy/dark/ghost in its movepool. And what DOESN'T get Dark-type attacks these days?

Okay, starters all looked a bit ugly at first, but that fox is already starting to grow on me. I missed the actual thing itself, so I didn't see the legendaries that you guys are talking about. Hope they're good though...

I'm wary about what they showed us of the battles because while they're pretty, that was the problem with Colosseum. Battles looked awesome, but were painfully slow. Miror B evens things out overall but, still.

Well, foxes are part of the canine family, but enough about that.

I'm curious as to why they skipped Gen 3 remakes completely? Perhaps Iwata was pressing for a 3DS system seller considering Black and White only just came out in 2011 (for everywhere that wasn't Japan)?

Gen 5 was by far the shortest Gen.

You said, 'Fennekin continues to follow tradition of having the fire starter fall under the 'Dog' category', which it doesn't since there isn't a tradition of fire starter's falling under the 'Dog' category. 'If you'd said Fennekin continues to follow tradition by having the fire starter fall under the 'Dog' category' I would've understood what you were implying.

At least it looks like they've finally broke the habit of Fire/Fighting starters, that got old pretty fast.

I think the FireFighters got better as they progressed. Emboar is obviously > Infernape, which in turn is obviously >>>>>>> Blazichicken

But this new Fire starter may usurp the Tepig line for favourite Fire starter. Same with the new Grass one and Snivy.

But the ugly from will never be anywhere near the level of Dewott's awesomeness

Both the legendaries look cool, too.

Goddammit, I accidentally a word and it completely threw off the gist of my sentence. That's what I get for trying to have a serious conversation at 6 AM after less than three hours of sleep.
